Franklin County puts finishing touches on phase 1 of Armory renovation project

Franklin County has just put some of the final touches on phase 1 of the Fort Coombs Armory renovation.

The armory kitchen equipment has been installed; that includes an icemaker and convection oven, a warming cabinet and insulated storage cabinets as well as a warming serving table and storage racks.

The warming kitchen is part of a much larger renovation project at the Armory designed to make the armory a convention center and a destination for private events like weddings.

Over the past few years the county has installed a central heating, ventilation and air conditioning in the historic building.

There are also new handicapped accessible restrooms and many of the original windows have been repaired.

The county is now taking bids for phase 2 of the renovations which will include foundation and floor issues, more window renovations and more ADA improvements.

Bids for phase 2 are due by November the 14th.

You can already rent the Armory, though.

The armory can be rented for private events for 250 dollars a day or 600 dollars for a weekend from Friday through Sunday plus a refundable 150 dollar key and cleanup deposit.
